Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[Duane_Bosch]

Its code for  - we're about to go back to level 5 so you better get for shiz in order. Don't say we didn't warn you!

 

Your thinking is WAY too higher grade for the EFF.

 

Someone in the EFF High Command/War Room or whatever stupid name they've given themselves has a cousin who owns a gym equipment company.

This morning trails were busy again. I passed and was passed by +/- 40 riders while out this morning. I counted 3 with masks/buffs on. Only about 6 or 7 of the riders were riding solo, most in groups of 2 (clearly not living together unless all cyclists have same sex partners) and groups of up to 6 riders.

 

People do not give 2 s**** about the rules.

You said trails, so it must be a MTB thing to have same sex partners

Funny, I got the feeling that all the roadies were on their mtbs for the morning...

 

I'm joking of course, I don't discriminate against anyone's orientation when it comes to two wheel pleasure.

A pretty random request by the EFF, but I would support it if they expanded this to bike shops

Honestly, in my opinion this should be pushed through, it will allow plenty to train and not be on the roads in the allowed time ad give more flexibility to training times for many. Technically trainers should fall under gym equipment. 

 

I know a few private gyms pulled fast ones and rented out certain equipment in the lead up to lock down.

Yeah I’m with Duane on this, I don’t think many in the EFF know what a gym looks like, and gyms are white privilege anyway.

Someone has an avenue to make a quick buck and EFF is pushing for it.

"So, I got all this Gym Equipment sitting in storage at the docks, costing me a fortune in fees. If you can make the regulations change so I can ship these out to clients I'll make sure the EFF gets X% of the profits in donations by month end."

"Plus... I'll drop a [enter Smart Indoor Trainer name here] in the street in front of your house..."

Never thought I would support an EFF request. This would be great though - lockdown has made me realise I don't need a gym subscription at all. A squat rack, olympic bar, some weights, kettlebells, and resistance bands gives me everything I need. I'm itching to buy some gym equipment...

A gym membership isn't about the equipment.

 

Yes you can belong to virgin and never go but you can also have a bunch of heavy stuff collecting dust in your spare room.

I was even reading that in his accent. Well done.

[Stretch]

Gyms have been leasing their equipment to people here. Monthly rental of gym equipment

[Stretch]

No. You can sleep in the same bed and you can **** but you can't be within 2m of each other outside.

 

You can also buy sushi but not pies

You can smoke weed but not cigarettes

You can make your own super dodgy beer but you can't buy any

You can walk on the promenade but not the beach

You can buy tupperware but not toys

Seriously? The little bit that I do know about these home brews is that it's highly unlikely to be dangerous.

 

You might get severe spuitpoep but that's about it.

Personally, I love weights (at a time I loved it more than I love mountain biking)- I used to do bodybuilding (believe it or not). I find now my biggest pain with gym is the time to get there and get back home in the morning, it's an extra 30mins I want to sleep (showering and getting ready at gym is a pain for me - all the packing, having sweaty clothes in the car the whole day). Another major gripe is how busy Virgin Actives are... the times I can go 6AM - 7AM or 5PM to 6PM it feels like a dodgy club.

 

Weights in the garage is very appealing to me... costly, but for me worth it instead of another bicycle.

Report said alcohol poisoning but I don’t buy it. Unless they somehow managed to brew it with high levels of methanol in it. But I also doubt that.

Home brews pretty harmless but when you start distilling your own liquor not so harmless..
